I like your persistence to keeping a journal. Don't get discouraged by not finishing one. It's all right to start and stop on just a few pages. That's how humans do it. Writing a journal is more like an exercise where one day you feel you can do a lot and the next not so much. Maybe you have other pressing needs or not. It is only important to you. Besides, the passages are more like snap shots of our minds than seeing the whole enchilada. Keep it simple. We aren’t finished with ourselves yet.
Feeling neglectful is only a mental snap shot too. Maybe you can try writing less instead of more. Make simple sentences again like this one. I write.
Remember that dieting is an exercise. Some people are better (or so it seems) than others. The grass always seems greener some place else. Here, we try to do our best and live with the fact that we are not 100% every day. Today I made maybe 40%. So am I going to quit? I don’t think so.
Plans are ok if we don’t plan the final results. However, this doesn’t stop our dreams. That is something else. Yet, if you plan the final results, you make a road to disaster. No one can plan what hasn’t happened yet. I heard someone say once, “You want to make God laugh? Tell Him your plans.” Besides, predicting the future is not our job. Our job is simple. We breathe and that all we really have to do because, without breathing we die.
Tell you what. I am going to write in my journal right now and write something about breathing. For five days (Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday) I will write something about breathing in five sentences. Why five? I got five fingers on one hand. It’s arbitrary. But after the writing you should feel you completed an exercise that will not leave you feeling as if you cheated on yourself by not writing a journal. The job is only five sentences max—for five days about breathing. If you want to write more—well, that’s up to you. What do you say?
